20. 🍕 So you made it to 20. 2 decades, holy shit. I mean okay, not that big of an age, but still something dude. And that something seems so huge cuz you've spent so much time thinking you'd not make it or can't do it anymore. Times when you thought you peaked and had understood everything, but suddenly life proved everything you believed in to be wrong or invalid, leaving you at the rock bottom again, left to think it all over, trying to figure it out from scratch. But that's the thing Ishu, now you know. Now you understand. The truth is, you never actually figure it out, and the key is, you stop trying to figure it out. Cuz if you do, then what? Having life figured out means you finally come to a conclusion, and that conclusion my guy, is death itself. 20 yo you is someone, 15 yo you wouldn't have believed he'd become. Exploring your spirituality, going on solo trips, breaking from your introverted cage of insecurity, and what not. Whatever it is, you're a better you from what you were, and that's what counts. All this, and still being the kid that you've always been, never taking anything seriously. Might be a dumb thing to do, but hey, as long as it keeps you happy, go for it. Never let that kid die inside of you. This might've been your best birthday ever, when you finally know that you don't want ut to be how you thought you wanted it to be. Not expecting it to be a certain way and just accepting the rhythm you're put in. And look what it got you. Independence from a part of your own mind and a hell lot of surprises from life. Good times. Anyway, A happy 20 my guy, you got this. (at Varanasi - Kashi - Banaras) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpkXBYGPOqz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

"i don't know what makes you so strong" my biggest strength is my love. it's kinda wrong to call it mine, cuz it's Kanha's love that channels through me. i'm just Kanha's instrument. the thought of Him chosing me as His instrument for something as magnificent and pure as loving and feeling loved makes me feel strong. my love being fueled by him who fuels the very existence of everything, makes me feel strong. my love is backed by Him who's the very embodiment of love and whenever i love whatever or whoever, from an animal to a person, it goes straight to Him, and they become a medium through which it happens. realizing this helps you learn to love without expecting anything from it at all. every opportunity to love and to feel loved becomes an opportunity to love Kanha and feel his love. it gives you an eye to see everything or everyone through, that allows you to see or understand, sympathize and empathize with them far beyond the surface, which is usually where everyone's stuck and cannot get past. it goes to the point where no matter how distant or non communicative you get, you know everything that goes on in their mind even if its not obvious or visible at all. it allows you to see, and understand every perspective, making space for endless kindness and forgiveness. it instills in you such great patience, that lets you endure anything no matter what it does to you, and lets you carry everything no matter for how long. it shreds every bit & form of restraint, partiality, jealousy, judgement, toxicity, fear, denial, delusion, anger, disappointment, comparison etc, till all thats left is just love, and that is the most powerful state or feeling you'll ever be in or feel. we all are Kanha's instruments, he resides in all our hearts, but not everyone realises this. even if they do, they prefer living with its ignorance, just cuz they're too occupied with things in their mind, that they consider "problems". he already has your heart. all you need to do is, take that leap of faith, do that trust fall and give him complete access to your mind too Priye.

Konark. 🌤 I cannot emphasize enough over how the pictures in my junior school history books don't do justice to what it looks like to the eye. Nor does it tell you about it's glorious past that only the guides there could tell you. Ours was a sweet old man, who'd somehow also learnt how to take real good pictures with experience. #IncredibleIndia #SPiCollective #StreetPhotographyIndia #SPiBnW #AncientArchitecture (at Konark Sun Temple) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cnjh-9avt-d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

अर्धनारीश्वर. inspo @ps.rathour i painted something after almost 2 years, and used watercolour after almost 5 years. sometimes its hard to believe i create the things i do given that i never learnt any of these, but then again, its them that make it happen, so, grateful. here's Shiv-Shakti, as Ardhnaarishwar. according to Skanda Puran, Maa Parvati, Shiv's consort, wanted them to stay in the form where they embraced each other, forever. so he created their form, Ardhnaarishwar (meaning, Half-Woman-God). #ShivShakti #Art #WaterColorPainting #Illustrations #FYP (at India) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnEd6p1L6mJ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
